ST. MARY COLLEGE 


St. Mary College is a boarding and day college 
for young men and boys. It is empowered by the 
Assembly of the State of Ohio to confer degrees. 
The extensive grounds of over 50 acres are located 
in South Park, a remarkably picturesque spot 
within the city of Dayton, overlooking the Miami 
Valley. St. Mary has all that a college of today 
calls for, viz., dormitory building with private 
rooms; halls, "modern in every detail; complete 
equipment for all departments (laboratories, libra- 
ries, museums, etc.); a picturesque park, a nata- 
torium, a gymnasium and auditorium, club rooms, 
and campuses of over ten acres to accommodate 
the entire student body. 


DEPARTMENTS 


There are four distinct Departments of Studies 
at St. Mary: the Collegiate Department, compris- 
ing the College of Arts, Letters, Science and En- 
gineering, the High School or Preparatory Depart- 
ment, the Business Department and the Elemen- 
tary Department. The studies in all Departments,

COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT 


College of Arts, Letters, and Science 


The studies of the Collegiate Department are 
divided into four groups, leading to the degrees 
Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Letters, Bachelor of 
Science, and Bachelor of Engineering. The selec- 
tion of studies is made with the assistance of an 
Advisory Board and with the approval of the Pre- 
fect of Studies. Philosophy and English are con- 
sidered fundamental studies for all degrees in the 
College of Arts, Letters, and Science. Latin and 
Greek are characteristic studies for students wish- 
ing to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Latin, 
History, and Modern Languages are ehehacrerietic 
studies for candidates aspiring to the degree of 
Bachelor of Letters. 

Candidates desiring a course in General Science 
may arrange for a course with the Prefect of 
Studies. An extensive study of mathematics con- 
stitutes an essential feature. Upon the successful 
completion of the course, the degree of Bachelor of 
Science is awarded. 


Department of Physics 


College of Engineering 

The College of Engineering was inaugurated in 
September, 1910, at the urgent request of Alumni 
and friends of St. Mary. 

No effort is spared to acquaint the student body 
thoroughly with the fundamental principles and 
to give them a deep insight into the theoretical 
analy sis of engineering problems. While emphasis 
is laid on fundamental theor y, continual attention 


Departmert of Chemistry 


is paid to the solution of practical problems for the 
purpose of imbedding principles and illustrating 
the lines of their general industrial application. At 
the same time students are trained to habits of 
initiative and industry, and will thus be well pre- 
pared to adapt themselves readily to actual condi- 
tions and requirements, and to grapple with new 
problems that from time to time confront the pro- 
fessional engineer. 

Lecture and text-book courses are accompanied 
throughout by quantitative work in well-equipped 
laboratories. 

Frequent visits are made to accessible engineer- 
ing establishments to make the student thoroughly 
conversant with the trend of current engineering 
practice. For such purpose Dayton offers excep- 
tional facilities owing to the great number and 
variety of engineering plants located in the city 
and vicinity. “Lectures by engineers in active ser- 
vice will help to keep the student in touch with 
professional work. 

Upon the successful completion of one of the 
Engineering Courses, the degree of Bachelor of 
Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical or Civil Engin- 
eering is awarded. 


HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 


St. Mary has a four years’ High School or Pre- 
paratory Course that is accredited to Case School 
of Apphed Science, as well as to the North Central 
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, 
which comprises the universities of Michigan, In- 


diana, Ilinois, and Ohio, and in general the univer- 
sities of the Middle West. 

The four years’ course is prescribed, not elective, 
and corresponds to the college preparatory course 
recognized by the leading educators as the only 
logical outline of studies for students who intend 
to take up higher studies. A diploma from the 
high school-department of St. Mary or any of the 
accredited high schools of the North Central Asso- 
ciation admits to the freshman year of the College 
of Arts, Letters, Science, or Engineering. 


Equipment of Business Department 


BUSINESS DEPARTMENT 


Students desiring to fit themselves for office 
work, and for business in general, are accommo- 
dated with a two years’ course in the business de- 
partment. A typewriter is furnished every student, 
and the classes are taught the use and the manipu- 
lation of adding machines, and are given thorough 
practice. to familiarize themselves with the many 
manifolding and duplheating processes. Lectures 
by leading business men of the city take place 
weekly, and form an instructive and interesting 
feature of the two years’ course. 


ELEMENTARY DEPARTMENT 


Nazareth Hall 


The Resident and non-Resident Students of the 
Elementary Grades receive the care and attention 
suitable to their age in Nazareth Hall, which has 
been remodeled for their accommodation. 


S. M. C. Band and Orchestra 


MUSIC DEPARTMENT 


The Music Department of the College is in- 
tended primarily to accommodate those who wish 
to pursue the study of music for its cultural ad- 
vantages and as a refined accomplishment. 


The students of the Department of Music are 
encouraged to acquire the proficiency requisite for 
membership in the Student Orchestra, 8. M. C. 
Orchestra, and S. M. C. Band. These musical or- 
ganizations give recitals and concerts in the course 
of the year and furnish the music at all dramatic 
and athletic events. They have been well received 
for years and have earned the continued favor of 
large audiences by their exceptional rendition of 
classical as well as popular programs. 


Voice culture is fostered in all departments of 
the College. Sight singing is taught to the younger 
students who are encouraged to become members 
of the S. M. C. Choir of select voices. Students of 
the Collegiate Department are eligible to member- 
ship in the 8. M. C. Glee Club, a popular organiza- 
tion among the young men of the college. 


S. M. C. DRAMATIC CLUB 


The S. M. C. Dramatic Club was organized for 
the purpose of fostering and cultivating a taste 
for elocution, oratory, and the drama. Under its 
auspices entertainments are given and elocution 
and oratorical contests are held. 


S. M. C. EXPONENT 


The Exponent, a monthly magazine edited and 
published by the undergraduates, is the literary 
organ of the student body. As its name indicates, 
The Exponent is an index of student life at St. 
Mary College in all its varied phases. Each month- 
ly issue contains representative work of the stu- 
dents in the departments of philosophic, scientific, 
and literary study in which their mental activity 
is exercised, and a detailed chronicle of the events 
of college life, which always proves of special in- 
terest to the wide circle of parents, relatives, 
alumni, and friends of the students. 


Club Rooms 


ATHLETICS 


Few colleges in the country can compare with 
St. Mary in the spacious accommodations both for 
indoor and outdoor athletics. Four large club 
rooms, equipped with gymnastic apparatus, basket 
ball courts, bowling alleys, billiard and pool tables, 
and a rariety of games adapted to the age of the 
student, are used during inclement weather and 
during the winter season. The basket ball court 
in the gymnasium for the intercollegiate games of 
the Varsity and High School Teams is one of the 
largest in the State.

Campuses 


The six spacious campuses accommodate the en- 
tire student body. A quarter-mile cinder path 
affords exceptional opportunities for the develop- 


ment of track teams. 


Coaches are in charge of the different depart- 
ments of athletics. By the interest they have 
stimulated these past years, St. Mary has met and 
defeated the best teams in the State. Physical 
exercise and military drill are given to the stu- 
dents by an experienced physical director. 

The new Dormitory Building, St. Joseph Hall, 
opened in 1911, contains private rooms equipped 
with every convenience—electric light, steam heat, 
hot and cold water, and pure spring water. Bath 
rooms are installed on every floor. No expense was 
spared to make the rooms as comfortable and 
home-like as_ possible.
